Iraq: Damac Properties signs agreements in Iraq

2012/12/08

Damac Properties has announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Al Fao General Engineering Company, a subsidiary company of the Iraqi Ministry of Housing and Construction, to further develop projects in Iraq.
The agreement was reached during a high-level visit to the Iraqi capital Baghdad where DAMAC Executives met with the Minister of Housing and Construction along with Al Fao General Engineering Company Executives.

The MoU was signed thereafter, establishing a joint venture company between Damac Properties and Al Fao General Engineering to begin development of the Ministry of Housing and Construction sites in the country.
It comes less than five weeks after Damac Properties agreed a MoU directly with the Iraqi Ministry of Housing and Construction during Cityscape World 2012 in Dubai to develop a number of projects in Baghdad and the surrounding region.

Perched at the top of a narrow valley, in the parched, scrubby hills of northern Iraq, close to the Kurdish border, its cluster of shrines are a revered site for followers of the Yazidi faith. At the heart of Lalish is a pool of water sheltered by a small cave, its entrance shaded by mulberry trees and watched by a guardian in a red turban. This is the “holy white spring”, where newborns must be brought for baptism, the waters mixed with the Lalish soil for the rites of marriage, birth and death. For generations, the rituals carried out at the spring had been unchanged. But two years ago, groups of women, usually silent, often with young children, began joining the families filtering in and out of the cave.
